I was exiled after wearing a book

Chapter 66 Popularity
Jiang Xin frowned. It was getting late, so he went back with Qin Lang without any delay.

When Jiang Xin went back, he saw Mrs. Hu greeting the helper who was cooking. He put the [-] mutton and green onion pies he bought from outside into the earthen basin first, took some hot water, washed his hands and face, and changed into a clean suit. Home dresses are out.

The costumes of the Great Zhou Dynasty are a bit like the clothes of the Tang and Han Dynasties. Most women wear skirts; keep.

There are also those who wear bunt clothes, short shirts on the upper body, and trousers on the lower body. People who dress like this are generally ordinary people. For families with better conditions, women's tops should be longer.

According to the local women's dressing characteristics, Jiang Xin designed several clothes for herself for convenience. The blouse on the upper body is a bit longer, and the lower body is wide-leg pants, which look like a skirt. In fact, it is very convenient to walk and do things.

At first, Jiang Xin was the only one in the family to wear it, but later all the women in the family wore it. The neighbors in the front and back yards saw it, and they laughed at it at first. Soon, someone borrowed the women's pants from Jiang's family to cut them, and all the women and girls on the street wore them in this way, which was really convenient.

For a while, it attracted many women in Zhen'an City to imitate, and for a while, it also led the dressing style of women in Liaodong Prefecture.

Soon, many styles of Chinese clothing spread to the capital, but the look has also changed a bit. The trouser legs are wider, more like skirts, and wearing a long gown that covers the hips makes the overall look very elegant.

When Jiang Xin went to the street, she also noticed that many girls and women on the street were dressed like this, and she couldn't help thinking that the tea clothes in the previous life were not like this?
Of course, Jiang Xin has no intention of opening up the clothing market. It is a bit too brain-intensive and requires a long-term drawing to update the style. It is too time-consuming for her, but this does not affect Jiang Xin's improvement of the loom.

Jiang Xin bought a line of defense and a loom and came back and studied it for a few days. Qin Lang is now a rank-[-] military officer. Apart from inspecting the military defense on weekdays, he can go home every day.

On the other hand, Jiang Cunliang and Jiang Zhen got busy, and it took two days to come back alone. It was spring, and the garrison had many things to do in the beginning of spring. Daily drills were inevitable. There was also spring plowing at the military station. What is the situation with the garrisons in other places?

The garrison in Liaodong Prefecture needs to provide one-third of the food and meat supply independently, so every year during spring plowing and autumn harvest, the garrison will go out to do farm work in batches. Not only that, there are several large pigs in the military station. The garrison will also send people to clean the sheep farm on a regular basis.

It can be regarded as the earliest state of military self-sufficiency.

When Qin Lang came back and saw Jiang Xin studying the loom, he also sat aside and watched it. After seeing it for a while, he understood how to use it. He took the wool thread that Jiang Xin had washed in advance, and glued the wool thread with a spinning wheel.

These wools were all bought by Jiang Xin from sheep farmers nearby, the kind of long-haired sheep raised by the northern Yi people.

How cashmere is combed from wool still needs to be studied, but Jiang Xin knows how to clean wool.

First cut off the lumpy outer layer of the wool, and then steam and wash the remaining clean wool, adding plant ash and saponin, after four or five times of washing, the wool has not reached snow white, but it has become milky white, but still There is a faint smell of mutton, which can only be further processed in the later stage.

After washing the wool, Jiang Xin stretched it with cotton wool to make it softer, and then used it for spinning.

I didn't expect Qin Lang to see the machine for a while, but the thread that came out at first was too thick. Jiang Xin told me that he changed the thickness of the thread in his hand, and soon the thin woolen thread appeared, circle by circle. Baby, milky white, soft Xuanxuan.

It's just that Jiang Xin doesn't know how to knit a sweater. She probably knows the process. When she was in college, she saw a girl in the same dormitory knitting a scarf for her boyfriend.

Skip the knitting sweater for now, it is really difficult, but she has studied the loom before, so it should not be a big problem.

Qin Lang spun the thread quite quickly, and after a while, a circle of thread as thick as his wrist came out.

Xiao Hu came in and saw it, and said with a smile: "I can do this too, and I'm very good at it."

Xiao Hu sat down and spun the second roll of thread, which was much softer than Qin Lang's, not so tight, and more well-proportioned.

So the family came in to spin the yarn when they had nothing to do, and within a few days, hundreds of catties of wool were spun out.

Under Qin Lang's intentional or unintentional guidance, Jiang Xinhe thoroughly studied the loom, and also proposed some key points for Jiang Xin to redraw the drawings to improve the loom.

Of course, it can't reach the big machine age of the later generations, where the cloth can be several meters in a few seconds, but the speed has been increased by nearly half, and the width of the cloth has also been widened.

After Jiang Xin re-drawn the blueprints, he didn't ask outside craftsmen to process them. Didn't Qin Lang know how to do it? He directly recruited young men and asked Qin Lang to work as a carpenter at home when he was free.

At first, Xiao Hu felt that Jiang Xin was messing around, and Qin Lang knew what kind of carpentry. As a result, within a few days, Qin Lang finished a new loom, a big loom that was half the size of the original one. .

It’s just that no matter how thin the wool thread is, it is too heavy to make clothes for weaving, so the heavy wool material can only be used as blankets and thick shoe uppers.

The woven fabric, 1.5 meters wide and three meters long, is just right for laying on the kang. Jiang Xin asked Dr. Zhou to find some herbs that can be used to dye the cloth, dyed green and red, and made it into a blanket. On the kang, it is particularly eye-catching, and it is also very comfortable to lie on.

Although blankets are not economical and practical, the loom is particularly useful, with more than double the speed and increased width. For the textile industry, this is a great progress that can be recorded in history.

But Jiang Xin didn't want to make a fuss. Not long after he researched it, he wrote a letter and sold it to Xie San. For this reason, Xie San asked Jiang Xin for 20 silver from his family as a buyout fee.

When Jiang Xin got the money and returned home, seeing Qin Lang sharpening his knife in the backyard again, he was really helpless. Is this guy crazy?

In the past, the family was poor and lacked food and clothing, but now beef and mutton, dried sea cucumber, dried abalone fish maw, and even the more expensive blood swallows were always on hand. How could Qin Lang not have all the prey on the mountain?

Jiang Xin found a small pier and sat down, opened the handbag on her wrist, took out a stack of 5000 taels of Datong bank notes, and flipped it with her hands, and the notes were issued The sound of clattering and clattering.
